Liz – March 30, 2014:

From: Stephanie Carpenter scarpenter6107@aol.com>
Just wanted to say thank you for your book. I’ve had a break-through in
practicing classical guitar after reading “With Your Own Two Hands.” I’m a
nurse as well as a musician and was sitting in our hospital cafeteria in
tears reading the first chapter-someone finally described to me what was
going on in my psyche about practicing. From one soul to another soul: Thank you.

I’m honor to send you a message Mr. Bernstein.
I’m a korean student who goes to Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Boston, majoring piano.
I read your book already 5 times, and it is always fresh and helpful.
Thank you for this great book and pure teaching.
Sincerely,
Sinkwon(Bryan)
